Snow Leopards are the most elusive cats found in the high mountains of Himalayas. Difficult weather conditions and terrain makes them like an apparition in the Himalayas. Imagine witnessing a snow leopard chasing an Ibex(mountain goat) at 15000 ft will look like. It is certainly one of the rarest moment to witness. Snow Leopards are ambush predators and when they ultimately decide to charge on their prey, it is electrifying and unpredictable. It is almost like a super power that FLASH possess. This was a like dream come true moment for me.
